Cognitive business: when computers become human and revolutionize the economy

Each of us generates nearly a gigabyte of data per day. This huge volume of data contains an incredible amount of information that we are able to read and organize thanks to cognitive computing. Cognitive computing comes from a mashup of cognitive science -- the study of the human brain and how it functions -- and computer science. he goal of cognitive computing is to simulate human thought processes in a computerized model. Using self-learning algorithms that use data mining, pattern recognition and natural language processing, the computer can mimic the way the human brain works. The potential areas of application of cognitive computing are many.
